 Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Silent Mike also known as Mike Farron I am here to fix your form where I take your videos your technique and I break you down trying to give you guys a little bit of Coaching if you want to get involved. We need three reps 70% Landscape video hot definition email to ask mikke at gmail.com my man's right here shout out to the man bun I people said it was a fad they said it was hot men's not hot three years ago You're still looking great with the man bun my friend And on top of that on a good note your deadlift is looking absolutely awesome People may say that oh, that's a stiff leg. His hips are too high, but it's just for how he is built right now So what you want to do is have your hips high enough It's the most common mistake in the conventional deadlift people try to get their hips too low Squat the weight up with no tension in their hamstrings or glutes And then you end up having your hips fly up body getting thrown forward in front of the bar And you miss weights over and over or you try to curl that hips too close to you I can't tell what shoes you got on obviously. I'm a big fan of flat shoes the flatter and stiffer the better But overall I might rate this deadlift I Might rate this deadlift 99% 9.9 a percent out of 10 is really really good dude. It's just a matter now of building up volume building up Frequencies so you get a little bit stronger and getting a little bit tighter every single set I think you flex your lats a little bit more, but otherwise Everything looks really really good the technique. I love the Ed Cohen style touch-and-go where you're really controlling that eccentric a little bit Letting the weight just dissipate in the ground allowing your hips to drop down to a perfect position and pull again Really really good stuff dude really really good stuff and the hair a One ten out of ten for the hair Now we're switching to some sumo. I don't know if he's gonna pull from this position This is the exact position I'm talking about where you're squatting too low hips curl in underneath because you're trying to get the bar Hips too low to you. Let's see what he turns into as he pulls He's giggling. He's giggling who told the joke who farted It gets a little bit better it gets a little bit better as he pulls but with the sumo deadlift Oh a couple things are very similar to the conventional where we want to flat back We want tension in our hamstrings. We want our weight behind the bar We want our shoulders directly over the bar basically But the things that remain a little bit different with the sumo is we want a vertical shin There are some people that can get away with a little bit of forward knee But the majority of people we want a vertical shin so for you my man What I'll try to do is move that stance in Force those knees out a little bit more hips a hair higher and then push your body weight behind the bar Again, there's a common cue of sumo and even conventional getting your hips close to the bar I don't like that cue for the majority of people because you end up with this little curl in the low back as you can see right here He ends up fixing it before he pulls But I'd rather have a very flat back and hips behind the bar getting your body weight falling behind the bar Overall, it's solid, but you just need those little tweaks So we need stance in a little bit because we want those knees on top of our midfoot and with the vertical shin position We want our hips a hair higher And then we want your shoulders a little bit further back behind the bar We're right now They're just in front of the bar and that's because your knees are in front and also your hips are Pushed too forward. You do have longer femurs. So most people would say oh go with a wider stance. That's not always the case Sometimes with a wider stance You can't you don't have the mobility in your hip to push those knees out and that's where you'd probably just go in You can see those knees cave in a little bit because you're actually not even pushing them out So I would I would move those heels in You can have your toes pointed out a hair more move those heels in to just underneath your knees and Then really force those knees out until they're on top of your foot And then if your weight gets shifted back Another thing might help you too is ditching the straps straps or fine tool to help with grip and a fine tool to get more sets of volume in If you hook grip or if you mix grip and you got a beat-up hand But even right there how long you're down there wrapping them up if your technique isn't already Flawless like our girl queen be a Beyonce flawless Then sometimes you'll be down there setting up too long It will cause issues in your routine or form if you're Already set up and technique and all that's great. Then sure you can wrap up and do the same thing But I would try to go mix grip or hook grip for a while. Let's see what we got here Little conventional Poland building the booty peach gang peach team King peach right here. Oh, oh, I like a little shift back. Okay Dude, what is it man bun day? Shout out to all my man buns out there doing your own thing Don't let the world stop you you look great. You're beautiful. You're flawless overall, bro It looks really really solid that lockouts a hair soft for me Often what people think about in the lockout under heavy load or even lighter loads is leaning back What I like to think about in Q most people is flex your quads flex your glutes stand tall Stand tall and strong and then you won't get a soft lockout Especially in the conventional I find more than the sumo is those knees will get a little bit soft at the top And you'll just kind of slunch allowing kind of your bone to handle the load But we need really flex quads flex the hips at the top Right there. You can see it his knees actually don't even lock out. He just leans back Oh, although the forms really really solid especially your setup Something else I might try is narrowing that stance just a hair It might help you out in the long run and then yes just that lockout We don't even want that low back curve on the lockout all what we really want is to stand up straight and tall This guy's already getting after it For how quick you set up there, dude Your form is actually really really good cool It kind of looks like Jake Paul shout out to Jake Paul in this and is sending in his video for me to fix his dead left He really is trying to get jacked in his home gym Jake Paul. Love you man mad love. We all make mistakes, buddy what I would recommend is having some Flatter shoes again basketball shoes are a fine overall training shoe But obviously made for basketball with some cushion some jump some grip the flatter shoe the better But overall that forms really really solid. Oh sumo life. Oh He's built for sumo and he perfected his sumo Really good did really good now This is kind of a picture perfect sumo but that only really happens when you have long arms a shortest or show and Really really flexible hips if you know I'm sorry The majority of us cannot get into the position If we could we'd all be dope dope dope pollers both conventional and sumo typically if you're built to pull You can pull both conventional and sumo and then if you're built to pull with some mobility You're gonna be an absolute sumo savage and I go switch it up We said it was a dead lip video. It's a squat video to two for one two for one Tuesday's ladies gentlemen overall really great sumo dude This looks really really good to again a flatter shoe or a weightlifting shoe would probably be recommended Your form overall is really solid. See if we can get a different angle I might try moving that stance in a hair just to get those knees just on our foot It looks like they're just on the inside of our big toe where I'd rather see that knee at the bottom of the lift On the middle of our foot if not just a just to the outside But overall everything's really solid, you know to start to get nitpicky. I tried to One not look at a mirror if possible. Obviously this rack forces you to To I'd really try to work on making everything as efficient as you can from your breathing to your tightness To even your walkout where that walkout maybe took three or four steps If you can get it down to two or three steps and get you in a perfect position, you'll be better off A belt is something I always recommend whether you're a powerlifter or not It just allows us to not only brace a little bit harder flex our abs a little bit more But also handle a little bit more weight And then again to be nitpicky is I would recommend or try using your thumb around the bar not everybody can get there But I think if you can get more Hand on the bar you can squeeze a little bit tighter with your forearms You can squeeze your back just a hair tighter and every little bit is going to count in the long run More squats for your gang. Let's see what we got. Remember if you're sending a video Let's try to get a landscape for us so we can all see a little bit better. The vertical stuff just doesn't look as good Not bad. Let's see what we got the angle. Maybe it looks a hair high I would try to maybe do some pause squats with some lighter weight and really make sure you're sinking those But the form overall is good if we can get a front nurse back angle I'll be able to tell a little bit more the one thing I would say is For you in particular, it looks like you're pretty squatty. It looks like your thigh bone your femur is pretty short You might be able to get away with a little bit straighter toes and really focusing on pushing into your knees There's a conversation I have with a couple people one my boy Justin Kalkin and some others about you know The hip back cue in the squat, you know hips back back back one. It's a cue For beginners who tend to push into their knees too much and get onto their toes Too it's a cue that worked in multiply suits because you're literally trying to push your hips into the suit So the suit can catch you for the majority of lifters, especially now That are intermediates or even just past beginners is yes We want to hinge at the hips slightly But we also want to really push into our knee and that's going to allow us to almost squat straight down the raw squat If done, you know perfectly or beautifully or correctly often the hips will go straight down even with a Low bar squat Hips going straight down is going to be most optimal In my opinion obviously hips back is a cue for some and it will work These are all just cues and it's about when to and who to apply them to My man, so I'll try to get your toes a hair straighter Maybe even weightlifting shoes for you if you don't think your ankles can handle this a little bit of heel back there Because you are a hair high But overall your general motor pattern is very very good. I like the style of Jim. I like that brick wall Everybody let's go get some our powerlifting belts on I see a lot of Velcro belts. They're fine, but they're not really what you go need overall really really good Pretty efficient you're getting kicked onto your toes a little bit So I try one of two things one I would try to either move the bar a little bit lower into a lower bar position get a little bit of torso lean there Again, the torso lean is okay as long as the angle in which our torso is leaning stays the same throughout the movement We don't want it to drastically get worse as we're coming into the hole out of the hole Or two I would probably get some weightlifting shoes. You're staying very very upright, which is fine It's not always the strongest. It's fine But what you can see is that shift onto your feet and any wiggle or shift under a heavier load You're probably gonna miss groove and end up missing the weight long-term. That's it for this one guys Be sure to subscribe thumbs up more videos Tuesday Thursday Saturday Sunday. I appreciate it all silent Mike. I'm out of here
